Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis Jr. will miss the start of the team's west coast road trip, beginning tonight against the Clippers.

The Milwaukee Bucks lost their last game, as the Los Angeles Clippers beat them 127-117. Milwaukee remains No. 4 in the Eastern Conference with a record of 25-18. As the trade deadline approaches, there are a number of teams that could make deals in hopes of improving their rosters.

The Milwaukee Bucks are still viewed as a potential Jimmy Butler suitor, but they reportedly want to make a trade regardless of him.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez got a surprise visit from Conor McGregor during a recent Bucks game against the Utah Jazz. Instead of waiting to meet Lopez after the game, as most tend to do, McGregor took the opportunity to introduce himself during the second quarter of the Bucks’ 125-110 win against the Jazz.

Attorneys representing WTMJ-TV and River Hills Police have one more week to negotiate which parts of a police report should be public record.

Portis (personal) will not play Monday against the Jazz, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

The Phoenix Suns have been the team most linked to Butler, but making a trade between them would be complicated. That leaves the Milwaukee Bucks with a window to acquire him while they still can. Per Marc Stein, Butler is not a pipedream for them.

With the turnaround they’ve had in 2024-25, Milwaukee is being active on the trade market. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis are available for trade. Windhorst noted that the Bucks want an “impact player” in return. Will Milwaukee get a trade done before the deadline on February 6?
